Walked into water...

So last week I was an idiot and walked into the ocean with my droid. Not gonna ask how to fix this because I know there's a million threads on what to do.

I've been leaving it in rice for a while and I'm pretty sure the battery is completely dead. When I plug the droid into the charger by itself, the little white light comes on perfectly fine and the light is solid blue on the droid.

Does anyone know what this means? Is it possible that I just have to replace the battery? Thanks.

I feel your pain man. Last year on a cruise I hopped in the pool on the ship. Was in there for like an hour or more drinkin some cocktails. The water in those pools is just salt water sucked outta the ocean and filtered. My blackjack still has salt come outta it if I shake it lol. The phone was totally ruined Im pretty sure salt water is about the worst thing you can do to a phone. You COULD try a new battery it cant hurt.

:welcome: to the forum, sorry it's under such bad circumstances.

Please follow the link christim gave you. That's your best bet. Good luck. Let us know how it turns out.

With the water, minerals, etc the blue light could be a short and most likely is. If the phone doesn't power on it really doesn't matter if the light flashed from red to green to yellow and back again....it will never be a phone again

Glad to hear you've got insurance! Do you have your replacement phone yet?
